Cookie Question

[HunteRRosE]

I found this code to output a logged in users userid in Vbulletin on an external page but it outputs nothing.

Anyone know why?

PHP Code:

<?
if (isset($_COOKIE["bbuserid"])) {
print("<span class='welcome'><br><br><center>Welcome back, $username!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><a href=\"http://www.sitename.com/forums/\">Visit the Forums</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center>");
} else {
?>

[lnxcode]

Doesn't it need to grab that info from the MySQL Database>?

Hmm... you may be right. I've seen it both ways. Perhaps now that php has globals off that is the preferred way to do it now.
